M：It's
11：30
in
the
evening,
and
I'm
so
hungry.
Can
I
buy
some
bread
from
the
store?
W：I'm
afraid
not.
The
store
usually
closes
half
an
hour
earlier.

W：It's
so
hot
today.
I
was
going
to
wash
the
car
and
water
the
plants,
but
now
I
don't
want
to
do
anything.
M：I
agree.
You
should
have
a
rest.
You'll
feel
uncomfortable
if
you
do
too
much
work.

M：Did
you
see
Tom
today?
W：Yes.
When
I
went
to
the
bank
this
morning,
we
happened
to
meet
outside
the
bank.
He
said
he
was
going
to
the
post
office.
Why
ask?
M：I
have
something
important
to
tell
him.
And
I
have
been
looking
for
him
all
day.

W：I
wish
James
would
be
here
on
time.
This
is
the
third
time
we
have
had
to
wait
for
him.
M：Not
surprising
at
all.
That's
James.

W：Let's
go
to
this
shoe
store.
I
need
a
pair
of
shoes
to
match
my
new
suit.
M：That's
a
good
idea.
I'm
so
tired
from
shopping
that

M：My
son
is
two
years
old,
and
I'm
wondering
whether
I
should
let
him
brush
his
teeth.
Can
you
give
me
some
advice,
Mrs
Green?
W：Start
cleaning
your
baby's
teeth
twice
a
day
as
soon
as
the
first
tooth
appears.
Until
your
child
is
1
year
old,
you
can
use
a
wet
washcloth
to
clean
your
baby's
teeth
and
gums.
At
about
1
year
to
18
months
of
age,
you
should
start
using
a
soft
toothbrush
and
a
small
bit
of
toothpaste
that
is
fit
for
children.
M：Thanks
a
lot!
I
should
have
asked
you
earlier
about
this
problem.

W：Alex,
I'll
help
Emma
with
her
packing.
M：The
packing?
Oh,
no.
We
may

to
change
our
plan.
W：Why?
M：We
may
go
to
Wales
or
England
instead
of
Scotland.
We
will
decide
after
the
weather
forecast.
W：OK.
Is
it
time
to
watch
the
weather
forecast
for
tomorrow
on
TV?
M：Yes,
listen.
In
Northern
Scotland
it
will
be
cold,
and
there
may
be
snow
over
high
ground.
W：In
the
north
of
England
it
will
be
a
wet
day
and
rain
will
move
into
Wales
during
the
afternoon.
M：In
Eastern
England
it
will
be
generally
dry,
and
it
will
be
a
bright
clear
day
with
sunshine,
but
it
may
rain
during
the
evening.
W：In
the
southwest
of
England
it
may
be
foggy
during
the
morning,
but
in
the
afternoon
it
will
be
clear.
It
may
be
windy
later
in
the
day.

we
going?

you.

M：Are
you
going
to
have
a
holiday
this
year,
Mrs
Young?
W：Yes,
we
are
thinking
of
visiting
my
brother
Fred,
who
is
a
farmer.
M：Farming
is
a
very
nice
job,
although
farmers
have
to
work
hard.
They
have
to
get
up
early
in
the
morning.
W：Well,
John,
as
a
doctor,
you're
quite
used
to
getting
up
at
night.
Well,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
I
have
just
received
a
letter
from
Fred.
Will
you
please
turn
the
light
on?
The
daylight
isn't
good
enough
for
reading.
M：OK.
W：Fred
says
here
that
his
corn
is
ready
for
harvest.
And
he's
going
to
buy
some
more
fields
next
year.
M：Oh,
he
must
be
doing
well.
W：Yes,
I
think
he
is.
He's
proud
of
having
the
largest
farm
in
Kent.
M：I
guess
you're
looking
forward
to
seeing
him.
W：Yes,
we
certainly
are.
And
I
shall
have
some
outdoor
exercises.
M：You
know,
when
I
was
young,
I
was
quite
good
at
ploughing.
W：Last
time
when
I
was
at
my
brother's,
I
once
tried
my
hand
at
milking
a
cow.
The
result
was
terrible!
I'll
never
forget
the
look
of
pity
on
that
cow's
face!

M：Hello,
Miss,
welcome
to
our
shop.
Can
I
show
you
our
latest
contract
plans
and
free
phones?
W：OK.
I
am
thinking
of
signing
up
to
a
contract
phone
anyway.
M：Wonderful!
We
have
a
special
offer
this
month.
So,
how
much
free
call
time
are
you
looking
for,
Miss?
W：I
don't
really
call
that
much.
So,
what
is
your
lowest
limit?
M：Well,
our
cheapest
contract
plan
gives
you
100
minutes
of
free
calls
each
month,
and
that
will
cost
you
just
￡20
a
month.
However,
if
you
choose
the
second
cheapest,
it
will
be
￡28
a
month
with
200
minutes.
W：I
doubt
if
I
can
use
all
the
200
minutes.
I
text
a
lot,
but
I
don't
call
that
much.
M：If
that
is
the
case,
with
our
200?minute
plan,
you
can
get
100
free
text
messages
and
unlimited
Internet
access
for
an
extra
￡6
a
month.
W：So,
that
would
add
up
to
￡34
a
month.
M：Wow,
you
worked
that
out
quickly!
How
about
this
Sony
Ericsson?
It
still
comes
with
a
color
screen,
MP3,
FM
radio,
and
60
Mb
built?in
memory.
W：I
prefer
the
music
player.
I

to
music
when
I
am
free.

Two
powerful
earthquakes
have
struck
China's
northwest
Gansu
Province,
killing
at
least
75
people
and
leaving
more
than
400
others
injured.
The
first
earthquake
near
the
city
of
Dingxi
had
a
magnitude
of
5.98
and
was
shallow.
Just
over
an
hour
later,
a
5.6?magnitude
quake
hit
the
same
area.
The
area
has
been
hit
by
371
aftershocks,
and
shakings
were
felt
in
the
provincial
capital,
Lanzhou,
and
as
far
away
as
Xi'an,
400
km
(250
miles)
to
the
east.
At
least
5,600
houses
in
the
province's
Zhangxian
county
are
seriously
damaged
and
380
have
collapsed,
while
some
areas
suffered
from
power
cuts
or
mobile
communications
being
broken
up.
The
earthquake
has
caused
a
direct
economic
loss
of
198
million
yuan.
Both
the
Chinese
President
Xi
Jinping
and
Premier
Li
Keqiang
have
called
Gansu
Province
to
express
their
concern
for
the
victims
and
stress
the
importance
of
the
rescue
operations
being
conducted
well.
The
Gansu
military
police
have
deployed
500
soldiers,
including
120
specialist
rescuers,
while
500
emergency
tents
and
2,000
quilts
are
also
being
transported
to
affected
areas.
Rain
is
expected
in
the
region
later,
leading
to
fears
that
this
will
make
rescue
efforts
more
difficult,
or
cause
more
landslides.

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)
第一节：(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
I
was
part
of
a
crew
that
was
sent
into
outer
space
for
a
task.
The
task
was
carried
out
successfully
and
I
was
on
my
way
back
to
Earth
with
my
friends.
Suddenly,
an
unknown
flying
object
appeared
and
it
somehow
forced
our
spaceship
to
land
on
another
planet.
On
the
planet,
a
very
strange?looking
creature
met
us.
This
creature
took
my
crew
and
me
to
see
its
master.
I
saw
another
alien
(外星人)
sitting
on
a
very
high
throne.
That
must
be
their
master.
It
wore
a
crown
and
looked
like
all
the
strange?looking
creatures
in
the
room
but
its
head
was
much
bigger.
All
the
aliens
had
four
eyes,
two
heads
and
six
legs.
They
had
a
white
body
and
no
hair.
There
was
a
very
high
wall
all
around
the
planet.
It
had
many
buildings
and
wherever
you
went,
you
could
hear
the
crying
sounds
coming
from
small
cells.
We
were
scared
and
they
gave
us
some
food,
which
smelt
like
rotten
fish.
The
smell
was
so
strong
that
we
had
to
hold
our
breath
in
order
not
to
faint
(晕倒).
No
one
dared
to
touch
the
food.
The
next
day,
we
were
given
a
long
list
of
things
to
do
but
they
spoke
a
language
that
we
could
not
understand
at
all.
They
whipped
(鞭打)
us
and
put
us
in
a
small
cell.
After
that,
they
conducted
experiments
on
us.
A
few
of
us
died
but
the
rest
of
us
who
survived
were
put
back
into
the
cell.
One
day,
the
aliens—who
brought
us
to
our
cells—forgot
to
lock
the
door
so
we
escaped
through
the
door.
Soon
we
boarded
our
own
spaceship
and
flew
back
to
Earth.
We
had
a
horrifying
experience
but
no
one
believed
us!
After
this,
I
never
dared
to
go
into
space
ever
again.
本文是一篇科幻文，讲述了作者和朋友们在太空中完成任务后，在返回地球途中遭到外星人劫持的故事。
21．The
writer
came
to
another
planet
because
their
spaceship
________.
A．broke
down
and
had
to
be
repaired
B．was
in
the
control
of
aliens
C．followed
a
strange
flying
object
D．lost
its
way
on
the
way
back
to
Earth
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“an
unknown
flying
object
appeared
and
it
somehow
forced
our
spaceship
to
land
on
another
planet”可知，他们的飞船被一个不明飞行物控制了，他们被迫到了另外一个星球，因此选B项。
22．It
can
be
inferred
that
the
unknown
planet
looked
like
________.
A．a
park
B．a
farm
C．a
prison
D．a
lab
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。结合第四段内容可知，这个星球到处是高墙，并从小牢房里传来哭泣的声音，因此像一座监狱。
23．What
might
be
the
most
suitable
title
for
the
passage?
A．An
Adventure
in
Space
B．An
Experience
of
Traveling
C．An
Experiment
on
Aliens
D．An
Escape
from
the
Earth
答案：A
解析：主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了作者和队友们到外太空去完成一项任务，在返回途中被外星人劫持到了另一个星球上，在那里受到了虐待，最后又侥幸逃脱的冒险故事，因此A项符合题意。
B
“Indeed，”
George
Washington
wrote
in
his
diary
in
1785,
“some
kind
of
fly,
or
bug,
had
begun
to
eat
the
leaves
before
I
left
home.”
But
the
father
of
America
was
not
the
father
of
bug.
When
Washington
wrote
that,
Englishmen
had
been
referring
to
insects
as
bugs
for
more
than
a
century,
and
Americans
had
already
created
lightning?bug
(萤火虫).
But
the
English
were
soon
to
stop
using
the
bugs
in
their
language,
leaving
it
to
the
Americans
to
call
a
bug
a
bug
in
the
nineteenth
and
twentieth
centuries.
The
American
bug
could
also
be
a
person,
referring
to
someone
who
was
crazy
about
a
particular
activity.
Although
fan
became
the
usual
term,
sports
fans
used
to
be
called
racing
bugs,
baseball
bugs,
and
the
like.
Or
the
bug
could
be
a
small
machine
or
object,
for
example,
a
bug?shaped
car.
The
bug
could
also
be
a
burglar
alarm,
from
which
comes
the
expression
to
bug,
that
is,
“to
install
(安装)
an
alarm”.
Now
it
means
a
small
piece
of
equipment
that
people
use
for
listening
secretly
to
others'
conversation.
Since
the
1840s,
to
bug
has
long
meant
“to
cheat”，
and
since
the
1940s
it
has
been
annoying.
We
also
know
the
bug
as
a
flaw
in
a
computer
program
or
other
design.
That
meaning
dates
back
to
the
time
of
Thomas
Edison.
In
1878
he
explained
bugs
as
“little
problems
and
difficulties”
that
required
months
of
study
and
labor
to
overcome
in
developing
a
successful
product.
In
1889
it
was
recorded
that
Edison
“had
been
up
the
two
previous
nights
discovering
‘a
bug’
in
his
invented
record
player.”
bug
一词始于英国，美国人却不断开拓创新，赋予这一词汇丰富多彩的意义。
24．We
learn
from
Paragraph
1
that________.
A．Americans
had
difficulty
in
learning
to
use
the
word
bug
B．George
Washington
was
the
first
person
to
call
an
insect
a
bug
C．the
word
bug
was
still
popularly
used
in
England
in
the
nineteenth
century
D．both
Englishman
and
Americans
used
the
word

C
Some
people
asked
me
how
I
could
suggest
the
expenses
of
billions
of
dollars
for
a
voyage
to
Mars,
at
a
time
when
many
children
on
this
Earth
are
starving
to
death.
I
know
that
they
do
not
expect
an
answer
such
as
“Oh,
I
did
not
know
that
there
are
children
dying
from
hunger,
but
from
now
on
I
will
stop
any
kind
of
space
research
until
mankind
has
solved
that
problem！”
In
fact,
I
have
known
of
this
long
before.
But
I
firmly
believe
that
by
working
for
the
space
program
we
can
make
some
contributions
to
the
relief
and
eventual
solution
of
such
serious
problems
as
poverty
and
hunger
on
the
Earth.
Two
basic
factors
causing
the
poverty
and
hunger
problems
are
the
production
of
food
and
the
distribution
(分布)
of
food.
In
fact,
large
areas
of
land
could
be
used
far
better
if
efficient
methods
of
farming,
fertilizer
use,
weather
forecasting,
field
selection,
planting,
crop
surveys,
harvest
planning
and
so
on
were
applied.
The
best
tool
for
the
improvement
of
all
these
methods
undoubtedly,
is
the
artificial
Earth
satellite.
Circling
the
globe
at
a
high
altitude,
it
can
screen
wide
areas
of
land
within
a
short
time;
it
can
observe
and
measure
a
large
variety
of
factors
indicating
the
status
and
condition
of
crops,
soil,
droughts,
rainfall,
snow
cover,
etc.
Besides,
in
the
modern
society,
there
is
a
continuing
great
need
for
new
basic
knowledge
in
the
science
if
we
wish
to
improve
the
conditions
of
human
life
on
the
Earth.
We
need
more
knowledge
in
physics
and
chemistry,
in
biology
and
physiology,
and
particularly
in
medicine
to
cope
with
all
these
problems
which
threaten
man's
life:
hunger,
disease,
overpopulation,
pollution
of
water
and
the
environment.
In
a
way,
the
space
age
not
only
holds
out
a
mirror
in
which
we
can
see
ourselves,
it
also
provides
us
with
the
technologies.
当世界上许多孩子正面临着饥饿的时候，是否应该花巨资进行太空研究呢？对于这一问题，作者在本文中指出造成贫穷和饥饿的基本原因并说明了太空研究的重要性。
27．The
passage
is
mainly
discussing
about
________.
A．whether
the
children's
dying
from
hunger
is
the
major
problem
B．whether
there
is
an
effective
way
to
avoid
the
global
starvation
C．whether
the
author's
suggestion
has
been
taken
into
serious
consideration
D．whether
it
is
worth
spending
much
money
on
the
space
research
答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，本文主要就当世界上许多孩子正在面临饥饿时，是否应该花巨资进行太空研究这一话题展开。故D项符合题意。
28．According
to
the
author,
what
plays
an
important
part
in
dealing
with
poverty
and
hunger?
A．Food
supply.
B．Methods
of
farming.
C．Government
support.
D．Modern
technology.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Two
basic
factors
causing
the
poverty
and
hunger
problems
are
the
production
of
food
and
the
distribution
(分布)
of
food.”可知，选项A符合题意。
29．The
second
paragraph
is
mainly
developed
by
________.
A．making
comparison
B．giving
explanation
C．giving
examples
D．offering
advice
答案：C
解析：写作手法题。第二段列举了研究太空项目对减轻和解决贫穷、饥饿等严重问题的贡献，所以本段是通过举例来展开的。
30．From
the
last
paragraph,
we
can
infer
that
________.
A．more
basic
knowledge
is
required
to
be
learned
B．technologies
can
help
to
improve
our
living
quality
C．we
can
live
a
more
peaceful
and
happier
life
D．there
are
different
views
on
the
space
age
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的前两句可知，如果我们想改善人类生活的状况，解决威胁人类生活的难题的话，我们需要新的科学方面的基础知识以及更多物理、化学等方面的知识，故可推知，科技对我们生活质量的改善有帮助。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，共10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We
See
Men
as
More
Creative，
and
That's
a
Big
Problem
for
Women
When
you
picture
a
creative
thinker—an
architect,
a
writer
or
a
tech
innovator—what
do
you
see?
__31__
New
research
finds
that
we
tend
to
associate
creativity
with
male
traits
like
risk?taking,
self?reliance
or
something.
For
the
first
experiment,
the
researchers
randomly
assigned
80
men
and
women
to
read
one
of
two
passages
on
creativity.
__32__
As
supposed,
the
volunteers
rated
male
traits
(such
as
competitiveness,
risk?taking
and
ambition)
as
being
more
important
to
creativity
than
female
qualities
(such
as
cooperation,
understanding
and
support
of
others)．
In
the
second
experiment,
169
volunteers
were
asked
to
read
about
a
fictional
person
who
was
either
a
fashion
designer
or
an
architect,
and
was
either
a
male
or
a
female.
Then,
the
volunteers
rated
three
images
of
that
person's
work
for
creativity,
originality
and
outside?the?box
thinking.
__33__
There
was
no
overall
difference
between
the
assessments
of
the
male
and
female
fashion
designers.
__34__
Except
for
their
gender,
the
male
and
female
managers
were
described
in
the
same
way.
Participants
tended
to
rate
the
male
manager
not
only
as
being
more
creative,
but
as
being
more
deserving
of
rewards.
__35__
Women
may
be
at
a
disadvantage
in
professions
where
creativity
and
innovation
are
valued.
Creativity
is
one
of
the
most
valued
abilities
in
our
society
today,
particularly
within
the
upper
rank
of
the
workforce.
The
bias
may
be
contributing
to
the
persistence
of
gender
inequality
within
the
labor
force's
excellent
ranks.
A．Male
executives
tended
to
be
judged
as
more
innovative.
B．That
people
link
innovation
with
men
is,
obviously,
not
good
for
women.
C．The
male
architect
was
generally
judged
to
be
more
creative
than
the
female
architect.
D．Finally,
the
participants
were
asked
to
rate
fictional
managers
who
adopted
a
risky
strategic
plan.
E．There's
a
pretty
good
chance
you're
imagining
a
man,
perhaps
Steve
Jobs
or
David
Foster
Wallace.
F．Then,
the
participants
were
asked
to
rate
some
personality
traits
based
on
how
important
they
are
to
creative
thinking.
G．This
effect
was
even
stronger
among
participants
who
read
the
passage
about
creativity
as
thinking
outside
the
box.
本文为说明文。研究表明，人们普遍认为男性比女性更有创造力，这种偏见使女性在就业时受到一定的限制。
31．E 解析：文章第一句“当你在想象一个有创造力的思想家——一个建筑师，作家或是技术革新者时，你看到了什么？”提出问题，导入话题。E项正好与第一句呼应。
32．F 解析：F项的关键词“rate
some
personality
traits”符合下文描述的具体个性特征，故F项正确。
33．C 解析：C项中的“The
male
architect”与上文的“either
a
fashion
designer
or
an
architect”呼应。
34．D 解析：此处是本段的主题句，本段主要讲
fictional
managers，故D项正确。
35．B 解析：最后一段主要论述了这种偏见对女性的影响，故B项符合段落大意。
第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)
第一节：(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
“Whoa!
What
are
you
doing？”
I
asked.
I
had
just
walked
into
my
daughter's
room
as
she
was
__36__
a
science
project.
Normally,
I
would
have
been
pleased
at
such
a(n)
__37__.
But
this
time,
her
project
involved
much
sand.
__38__
she'd
put
some
plastic
under
her
work
area,
it
wasn't
nearly
enough.
The
sand
was
__39__
all
over
our
newly
renovated
(整修的)
floor.
My
daughter
immediately
felt
my
displeasure
and
began
to
__40__
herself.
“I
used
plastic！”
she
responded
angrily.
I
responded
more
__41__，
“But
the
sand
is
getting
all
over！”
“Where
else
am
I
supposed
to
do
it？”
she
__42__.
Why
won't
she
admit
when
she
has
done
something
__43__？
I
felt
my
__44__，
thinking
of
the
future:
what
would
her
life
look
like
if
she
couldn't
admit
her
mistakes?
My
fear
translated
into
more
anger,
this
time
about
how
__45__
it
was
for
her
to
admit
mistakes.
We
had
a
__46__.
She
said
something
that
I
felt
disrespectful
to
me
and
I
__47__
my
voice.
Both
of
us
ended
up
__48__
terrible.
I
wished
this
__49__
happened
before.
So
I
thought
that
I
needed
a
good
__50__
to
respond
to
my
daughter.
For
this,
I
went
to
my
wife,
Eleanor,
who
was
truly
a
master.
I
asked
her
how
I
should
have
__51__
it.
“Sweetie，”
she
said,
role?playing
me
in
the
__52__
with
my
daughter,
“There's
a
lot
of
sand
here
and
we
need
to
__53__
it
up
before
it
destroys
the
floor,
how
can
I
help？”
That's
really
a
great
way
to
deal
with
it:
first
__54__
the
problem,
next
state
what
needs
to
happen
and
then
offer
to
__55__.
It's
simple,
right?
However,
it's
really
helpful
in
solving
some
problems
in
life.

第二节：读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
There
was
a
heated
discussion
about
which
is
superior
between
the
Chinese
parenting
style
and
the
American
parenting
style.
The
reason
why
there
was
this
discussion
was
that
Amy
Chua,
a
Yale
professor,
published
an
essay
titled
Why
Chinese
Mothers
Are
Superior
on
The
Wall
Street
Journal
Digital
Network
on
January
8,
2011,
which
is
about
the
typical
Chinese
parenting
style
and
criticizes
the
American
parenting
style.
Some
people
agreed
with
her,
but
a
lot
of
other
people
disagreed
with
many
of
her
ideas.
This
article
is
based
on
these
points,
and
make
a
comparison
between
two
parenting
styles.
First,
the
conception
of
success
is
almost
different.
Amy
Chua
or
the
typical
Chinese_parents
think
that
having
the
top
score
of
examinations
is
a
success,
taking
an
education
in
a
famous
college
is
a
success,
and
getting
a
trophy
of
playing
some
instrument
which
looks
noble
is
a
success.
But
American_parents
care
about
the
inner
self?confidence,
group_work,_creativity,
and
social
skills.
In
their
opinion,
the
score
is
not
so
important.
Second,
children
should
do
everything
parents
told
them
because
Chinese
parents
believe
that
their
kids
owe
them
everything;
it
may
come
from
the
Chinese
culture
of
Confucius.
So
Chinese
parents
can
tell
their
children
to
do
everything
as
they
want,
whether
their
children
want
or
not.
But
American
parents
will
consider
their
children's
will.

答案
Paragraph
1：
Children
are
human
beings
first,
not
little
robots.
Robots
require
programming
because
they
can't
think
for
themselves
nor
have
spirits
while
Chinese_parents
may
incidentally
shape
their
children
into
little
robots
and
teach
them
to
suppress
their
thoughts
and
emotions.
American_parents
think
that
their
children
aren't
indebted
to
them
for
the
necessities
of
life
parents
provide
for
them,
or
the
experiences,
skills,
and
education
parents
teach
or
share
with
them.
Paragraph
2：
Third,
do
watching
TV,
playing
video
games
and
taking
part
in
activities
with
classmates
really
do
harm
to
children?
Chinese
parents
think
that
those
entertainments
are
bad
for
children.
But
American
parents
think
that
those
entertainments
have
positive
parts
for
children's
sociality—managing
competition,
group_work,_understanding
social
norms
and
so
on.
We
not
only
completely
agree
with
this
kind
of
American
family
education,
but
also
have
to
change
the
way
that
Chinese
parents
only
give
strict
requirements
about
learning
to
children
but
seldom
help
children
to
build
the
relationship.单元质量检测四(Unit

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)
第一节：(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
I
was
part
of
a
crew
that
was
sent
into
outer
space
for
a
task.
The
task
was
carried
out
successfully
and
I
was
on
my
way
back
to
Earth
with
my
friends.
Suddenly,
an
unknown
flying
object
appeared
and
it
somehow
forced
our
spaceship
to
land
on
another
planet.
On
the
planet,
a
very
strange?looking
creature
met
us.
This
creature
took
my
crew
and
me
to
see
its
master.
I
saw
another
alien
(外星人)
sitting
on
a
very
high
throne.
That
must
be
their
master.
It
wore
a
crown
and
looked
like
all
the
strange?looking
creatures
in
the
room
but
its
head
was
much
bigger.
All
the
aliens
had
four
eyes,
two
heads
and
six
legs.
They
had
a
white
body
and
no
hair.
There
was
a
very
high
wall
all
around
the
planet.
It
had
many
buildings
and
wherever
you
went,
you
could
hear
the
crying
sounds
coming
from
small
cells.
We
were
scared
and
they
gave
us
some
food,
which
smelt
like
rotten
fish.
The
smell
was
so
strong
that
we
had
to
hold
our
breath
in
order
not
to
faint
(晕倒).
No
one
dared
to
touch
the
food.
The
next
day,
we
were
given
a
long
list
of
things
to
do
but
they
spoke
a
language
that
we
could
not
understand
at
all.
They
whipped
(鞭打)
us
and
put
us
in
a
small
cell.
After
that,
they
conducted
experiments
on
us.
A
few
of
us
died
but
the
rest
of
us
who
survived
were
put
back
into
the
cell.
One
day,
the
aliens—who
brought
us
to
our
cells—forgot
to
lock
the
door
so
we
escaped
through
the
door.
Soon
we
boarded
our
own
spaceship
and
flew
back
to
Earth.
We
had
a
horrifying
experience
but
no
one
believed
us!
After
this,
I
never
dared
to
go
into
space
ever
again.
本文是一篇科幻文，讲述了作者和朋友们在太空中完成任务后，在返回地球途中遭到外星人劫持的故事。
21．The

“Indeed，”
George
Washington
wrote
in
his
diary
in
1785,
“some
kind
of
fly,
or
bug,
had
begun
to
eat
the
leaves
before
I
left
home.”
But
the
father
of
America
was
not
the
father
of
bug.
When
Washington
wrote
that,
Englishmen
had
been
referring
to
insects
as
bugs
for
more
than
a
century,
and
Americans
had
already
created
lightning?bug
(萤火虫).
But
the
English
were
soon
to
stop
using
the
bugs
in
their
language,
leaving
it
to
the
Americans
to
call
a
bug
a
bug
in
the
nineteenth
and
twentieth
centuries.
The
American
bug
could
also
be
a
person,
referring
to
someone
who
was
crazy
about
a
particular
activity.
Although
fan
became
the
usual
term,
sports
fans
used
to
be
called
racing
bugs,
baseball
bugs,
and
the
like.
Or
the
bug
could
be
a
small
machine
or
object,
for
example,
a
bug?shaped
car.
The
bug
could
also
be
a
burglar
alarm,
from
which
comes
the
expression
to
bug,
that
is,
“to
install
(安装)
an
alarm”.
Now
it
means
a
small
piece
of
equipment
that
people
use
for
listening
secretly
to
others'
conversation.
Since
the
1840s,
to
bug
has
long
meant
“to
cheat”，
and
since
the
1940s
it
has
been
annoying.
We
also
know
the
bug
as
a
flaw
in
a
computer
program
or
other
design.
That
meaning
dates
back
to
the
time
of
Thomas
Edison.
In
1878
he
explained
bugs
as
“little
problems
and
difficulties”
that
required
months
of
study
and
labor
to
overcome
in
developing
a
successful
product.
In
1889
it
was
recorded
that
Edison
“had
been
up
the
two
previous
nights
discovering
‘a
bug’
in
his
invented
record
player.”
bug
一词始于英国，美国人却不断开拓创新，赋予这一词汇丰富多彩的意义。

that________.
A．Americans
had
difficulty
in
learning
to
use
the
word
bug
B．George
Washington

a

C．the

was
still

used
in
England
in

nineteenth
century
D．both
Englishman
and
Americans
used
the
word
bug
in
the
eighteenth
century
25．What
does
the
word
“flaw”
in
the
last
paragraph
probably
mean?
A．Explanation.
B.Finding.
C．Origin.
D.Fault.
26．The
passage
is
mainly
concerned
with________.
A．the
misunderstanding
of
the
word
bug
B．the
development
of
the
word
bug
C．the
public
views
of
the
word
bug
D．the

C
Some
people
asked
me
how
I
could
suggest
the
expenses
of
billions
of
dollars
for
a
voyage
to
Mars,
at
a
time
when
many
children
on
this
Earth
are
starving
to
death.
I
know
that
they
do
not
expect
an
answer
such
as
“Oh,
I
did
not
know
that
there
are
children
dying
from
hunger,
but
from
now
on
I
will
stop
any
kind
of
space
research
until
mankind
has
solved
that
problem！”
In
fact,
I
have
known
of
this
long
before.
But
I
firmly
believe
that
by
working
for
the
space
program
we
can
make
some
contributions
to
the
relief
and
eventual
solution
of
such
serious
problems
as
poverty
and
hunger
on
the
Earth.
Two
basic
factors
causing
the
poverty
and
hunger
problems
are
the
production
of
food
and
the
distribution
(分布)
of
food.
In
fact,
large
areas
of
land
could
be
used
far
better
if
efficient
methods
of
farming,
fertilizer
use,
weather
forecasting,
field
selection,
planting,
crop
surveys,
harvest
planning
and
so
on
were
applied.
The
best
tool
for
the
improvement
of
all
these
methods
undoubtedly,
is
the
artificial
Earth
satellite.
Circling
the
globe
at
a
high
altitude,
it
can
screen
wide
areas
of
land
within
a
short
time;
it
can
observe
and
measure
a
large
variety
of
factors
indicating
the
status
and
condition
of
crops,
soil,
droughts,
rainfall,
snow
cover,
etc.
Besides,
in
the
modern
society,
there
is
a
continuing
great
need
for
new
basic
knowledge
in
the
science
if
we
wish
to
improve
the
conditions
of
human
life
on
the
Earth.
We
need
more
knowledge
in
physics
and
chemistry,
in
biology
and
physiology,
and
particularly
in
medicine
to
cope
with
all
these
problems
which
threaten
man's
life:
hunger,
disease,
overpopulation,
pollution
of
water
and
the
environment.
In
a
way,
the
space
age
not
only
holds
out
a
mirror
in
which
we
can
see
ourselves,
it
also
provides
us
with
the
technologies.
当世界上许多孩子正面临着饥饿的时候，是否应该花巨资进行太空研究呢？对于这一问题，作者在本文中指出造成贫穷和饥饿的基本原因并说明了太空研究的重要性。
27．The
passage
is
mainly
discussing
about
________.
A．whether
the
children's
dying
from
hunger
is
the
major
problem
B．whether
there
is
an
effective
way
to
avoid
the
global
starvation
C．whether
the
author's
suggestion
has
been
taken
into
serious
consideration
D．whether

on

28．According
to
the
author,
what
plays
an
important
part
in
dealing
with
poverty
and
hunger?
A．Food
supply.
B．Methods
of
farming.
C．Government
support.
D．Modern
technology.

by
________.
A．making

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We
See
Men
as
More
Creative，
and
That's
a
Big
Problem
for
Women
When
you
picture
a
creative
thinker—an
architect,
a
writer
or
a
tech
innovator—what
do
you
see?
__31__
New
research
finds
that
we
tend
to
associate
creativity
with
male
traits
like
risk?taking,
self?reliance
or
something.
For
the
first
experiment,
the
researchers
randomly
assigned
80
men
and
women
to
read
one
of
two
passages
on
creativity.
__32__
As
supposed,
the
volunteers
rated
male
traits
(such
as
competitiveness,
risk?taking
and
ambition)
as
being
more
important
to
creativity
than
female
qualities
(such
as
cooperation,
understanding
and
support
of
others)．
In
the
second
experiment,
169
volunteers
were
asked
to
read
about
a
fictional
person
who
was
either
a
fashion
designer
or
an
architect,
and
was
either
a
male
or
a
female.
Then,
the
volunteers
rated
three
images
of
that
person's
work
for
creativity,
originality
and
outside?the?box
thinking.
__33__
There
was
no
overall
difference
between
the
assessments
of
the
male
and
female
fashion
designers.
__34__
Except
for
their
gender,
the
male
and
female
managers
were
described
in
the
same
way.
Participants
tended
to
rate
the
male
manager
not
only
as
being
more
creative,
but
as
being
more
deserving
of
rewards.
__35__
Women
may
be
at
a
disadvantage
in
professions
where
creativity
and
innovation
are
valued.
Creativity
is
one
of
the
most
valued
abilities
in
our
society
today,
particularly
within
the
upper
rank
of
the
workforce.
The
bias
may
be
contributing
to
the
persistence
of
gender
inequality
within
the
labor
force's
excellent
ranks.
A．Male
executives
tended
to
be
judged
as
more
innovative.
B．That
people
link
innovation
with
men
is,
obviously,
not
good
for
women.
C．The
male
architect
was
generally
judged
to
be
more
creative
than
the
female
architect.
D．Finally,
the
participants
were
asked
to
rate
fictional
managers
who
adopted
a
risky
strategic
plan.
E．There's
a
pretty
good
chance
you're
imagining
a
man,
perhaps
Steve
Jobs
or
David
Foster
Wallace.
F．Then,
the
participants
were
asked
to
rate
some
personality
traits
based
on
how
important
they
are
to
creative
thinking.
G．This

“Whoa!
What
are
you
doing？”
I
asked.
I
had
just
walked
into
my
daughter's
room
as
she
was
__36__
a
science
project.
Normally,
I
would
have
been
pleased
at
such
a(n)
__37__.
But
this
time,
her
project
involved
much
sand.
__38__
she'd
put
some
plastic
under
her
work
area,
it
wasn't
nearly
enough.
The
sand
was
__39__
all
over
our
newly
renovated
(整修的)
floor.
My
daughter
immediately
felt
my
displeasure
and
began
to
__40__
herself.
“I
used
plastic！”
she
responded
angrily.
I
responded
more
__41__，
“But
the
sand
is
getting
all
over！”
“Where
else
am
I
supposed
to
do
it？”
she
__42__.
Why
won't
she
admit
when
she
has
done
something
__43__？
I
felt
my
__44__，
thinking
of
the
future:
what
would
her
life
look
like
if
she
couldn't
admit
her
mistakes?
My
fear
translated
into
more
anger,
this
time
about
how
__45__
it
was
for
her
to
admit
mistakes.
We
had
a
__46__.
She
said
something
that
I
felt
disrespectful
to
me
and
I
__47__
my
voice.
Both
of
us
ended
up
__48__
terrible.
I
wished
this
__49__
happened
before.
So
I
thought
that
I
needed
a
good
__50__
to
respond
to
my
daughter.
For
this,
I
went
to
my
wife,
Eleanor,
who
was
truly
a
master.
I
asked
her
how
I
should
have
__51__
it.
“Sweetie，”
she
said,
role?playing
me
in
the
__52__
with
my
daughter,
“There's
a
lot
of
sand
here
and
we
need
to
__53__
it
up
before
it
destroys
the
floor,
how
can
I
help？”
That's
really
a
great
way
to
deal
with
it:
first
__54__
the
problem,
next
state
what
needs
to
happen
and
then
offer
to
__55__.
It's
simple,
right?
However,
it's
really
helpful
in
solving
some
problems
in
life.

There
was
a
heated
discussion
about
which
is
superior
between
the
Chinese
parenting
style
and
the
American
parenting
style.
The
reason
why
there
was
this
discussion
was
that
Amy
Chua,
a
Yale
professor,
published
an
essay
titled
Why
Chinese
Mothers
Are
Superior
on
The
Wall
Street
Journal
Digital
Network
on
January
8,
2011,
which
is
about
the
typical
Chinese
parenting
style
and
criticizes
the
American
parenting
style.
Some
people
agreed
with
her,
but
a
lot
of
other
people
disagreed
with
many
of
her
ideas.
This
article
is
based
on
these
points,
and
make
a
comparison
between
two
parenting
styles.
First,
the
conception
of
success
is
almost
different.
Amy
Chua
or
the
typical
Chinese_parents
think
that
having
the
top
score
of
examinations
is
a
success,
taking
an
education
in
a
famous
college
is
a
success,
and
getting
a
trophy
of
playing
some
instrument
which
looks
noble
is
a
success.
But
American_parents
care
about
the
inner
self?confidence,
group_work,_creativity,
and
social
skills.
In
their
opinion,
the
score
is
not
so
important.
Second,
children
should
do
everything
parents
told
them
because
Chinese
parents
believe
that
their
kids
owe
them
everything;
it
may
come
from
the
Chinese
culture
of
Confucius.
So
Chinese
parents
can
tell
their
children
to
do
everything
as
they
want,
whether
their
children
want
or
not.
But
American
parents
will
consider
their
children's
will.
